As of December 14, the State of Wisconsin has granted recognition to Open Book as an official cooperative. Think of what has been accomplished in a short six months. When Harry Schwartz Bookshops closed last spring, the store was stripped to the bare walls, leaving nothing behind but two fire extinguishers. Today, Shorewood can proudly boast a new full-service bookstore and cafe - all community owned!
Stop by Open Book soon at 4093 N. Oakland Ave. to finish off your holiday shopping, or sip a cup of coffee in the cafe (Open Book’s new private blend is now available by cup or bag. Open Book also offers gift certificates - let them choose their own special gift!
